Can umbilical cord twist sleep on the right side?

summary

My friend is now six and a half months old. When he did color Doppler ultrasound, he said that the baby's umbilical cord was twisted. The doctor didn't give a clear answer, just said to let him go back and think about it. At that time, she just hoped that her experienced mother could help her pay attention. Is this serious or not, and can the umbilical cord twist sleep in the right position? Let's get to know.

Can umbilical cord twist sleep on the right side?

1. Umbilical cord torsion is a rare kind of heterosexual umbilical cord, because the umbilical cord is relatively long, tied in the mother's stomach, unable to smoothly absorb nutrients. If the umbilical cord is twisted excessively, it will be damaged and dead, causing vascular occlusion or thrombosis, and the fetus may die due to the interruption of blood transportation.

2. If the umbilical cord torsion really occurs, we must communicate with the doctor in time. If it is in a normal range, we don't have to worry. When the fetus is active, the normal umbilical cord can be twisted along its longitudinal axis, and the physiological torsion can reach 6-11 weeks.

3. Also note that when approaching the due date of delivery must pay attention to, so that in any case can be the first time to the hospital. In general, the doctor will recommend a cesarean section for a twisted umbilical cord. Later there may be some children with poor resistance, easy to get sick and so on, but don't worry too much, just need careful care, generally there will be no big problem

matters needing attention

Umbilical cord twist has nothing to do with sleeping position. Umbilical cord torsion can not be controlled artificially. If there is no pathological condition during pregnancy, there is no fixed requirement for sleeping posture. As long as you feel comfortable, it has no effect on the baby. It's just that you should not sleep flat for a long time in the late pregnancy, and occasionally lie on the left side. Because the fetus in the womb will be their own activities, under normal conditions, the umbilical cord itself has a certain degree of torsion, so pregnant women need to learn relevant knowledge to relax, can try to avoid problems.
